Career

In 2020, Sus released "Turn Up" alongside T Scam; GRM Daily described the song as "offload[ing] some unapologetically honest bars...aimed at certain people in their lives."[3] He also appeared on Fumez the Engineer's Plugged In series alongside 2smokeyy.[4]

In January 2021, he appeared on "Who's Bad" alongside Swavey, Yevz and 2smokeyy;[5] this was followed by the release of "Block Heroes" with Nino in February and "MoonWalk" in March.[6][7] In August, he appeared on "Double Tap" by Fredo, which appeared on Independence Day;[8] it peaked at number 73 on the UK Singles Chart. He also appeared on Mixtape Madness's The Cold Room series with T Scam.[9]

In September, Sus appeared on a remix of "Snap It" by SR and on "Woosh & Push" by Loski.[10][11] In October, he released "Encore", noted by GRM Daily as "a quality release that showcases Suspect’s deep cadence and his engaging bars."[12] He released "Freestyle" in December.[13]

In 2022, he released "Frostbite" with Nino Uptown.[14] He also released his debut album, Suspicious Activity, in February.[15]
